I am happy that I at least learned something while I was making this block. I kept having trouble sewing my pieced sets together — I’d try to eyeball it and fold down the material so I could see if the papers lined up, and a couple of times I made lines on the fabric with my disappearing pen so I could try to match those lines up. Finally, I realized something that I’m sure people who have brains already knew to do: I realized that I could put pins through points in both pieces and line them up that way!

I love this and have a boy obsessed with nerf guns that will love a nerf gun block. So I will “borrow ” your idea unless you let me know not to.
With paper piecing aren’t you meant to sew on the paper side so you can sew on the lines drwn on the paper?
